You are made from two things:  Eden’s dust; and the “Breath of God.”

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7).

Nishmat Chaim (Nish-maht Ky-eem). The breath of Life deals with the immaterial part of man. This is the neshamah, or the breath of God.

When you feel overwhelmed, alone, or discouraged, remember this: God formed man with His own hands from the dust of Eden. Then He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living soul. We are both dust and the breath of God. You are significant, valuable, and deeply loved by the One who created you in His image. Never forget that your worth is not determined by your circumstances, but by the God who made you and calls you His own.

“You are here this moment, this second, this minute, this hour, on this planet, in this this solar system, in this universe, for a reason – you are no mistake. God makes no mistake!”  – Dr. Jeff, Hope Rising: Messianic Promise, Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2022, p. 5
